"Can Trump Handle The Truth"

[Old_Trapper70]

Many articles have been written about how Trump lies. IMO this is the best one yet, even if it is a little bit long, and still the Repugnant right wingers will not accept it. Seems like they can't handle the truth even as their false god cannot. Satans greatest lie is similar to that of the promises made by Trump:
Matthew 4:8-9
“Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. ‘All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me.’”

"TIME reviewed the 298 tweets Trump has sent since being elected President as of March 21. Fifteen included clear falsehoods, like the wiretap claims. The false messages were retweeted an average of 28,550 times. Those that were not clearly false were retweeted on average 23,945 times. The viral effect of falsehood being repeated on the news was many times more pronounced.

According to a search through the Internet Archive, a nonprofit library database, the false tweets were quoted on television an average of 31 times, more than twice as often as other tweets.

For Trump's allies, this is a measure of strategic brilliance, not defective character. "He understands how to make something an issue and elevate the discussion by saying things that are contrary, perhaps even unproved," explains Roger Stone, a former adviser to Trump, who has his own penchant for spreading false conspiracy theories. "He has the ability to change the subject to what he wants to talk about."

So sad that so many people seem to get more, not less, obsessive in their support for this lying, destructive clown with each lie!

And his hateful message is having a clear and very negative, dangerous effect on All in America. What about all those new racist attacks, those mass shootings, and the narrowing of so many minds!

Haven't you hears? Those are attacks by Democrats, or "liberals". Right wing "conservatives" would never kill a person who looks like a Arab, or kill transgenders, or destroy Jewish grave sites.

This holds true in America, as well as Britain:

So sad! And. . .it is so easy to point the fingers and call it "terrorism" when the shooter is Black and/or a Muslim.

But it is clear that White crime is under reported. I have the feeling that it will be the case in this latest Ohio shooting! I bet this will turn out to be a "testosterone and guns" combination by a Trump and NRA supporter!


Gunfire erupted inside a packed nightclub in Cincinnati, Ohio, early Sunday morning, killing one person and injuring 14 others, and at least one shooter was at large hours after the mayhem, authorities said.

The motive behind the shooting was unclear, but Cincinnati Assistant Police Chief Paul Neudigate said on Twitter that "there are no indications this incident is terrorism related."

“The conflict is believed to have begun between specific groups or individuals earlier in the day, escalating and ultimately leading to this tragedy occurring at the nightclub,” City Manager Harry Black said in a statement.

Generations of American children have learned the apocryphal tale of young George Washington, bravely admitting to his father that he chopped down the cherry tree. The story sprang from a culture that wanted even its fables to serve the ideal of truth. By that standard, the House Intelligence Committee hearing on March 20 should have been a massive humiliation for the President, who followed Washington 228 years later. It is rare for such hearings to be unclassified--and thus televised--but FBI Director James Comey found the largest possible audience for his rebuke of the sitting President.

He had given Donald Trump nearly three weeks to walk back his incendiary tweets accusing President Obama of "wire tapping" Trump Tower during the campaign. If such surveillance had been done through legal channels, the FBI would have known; if done illegally, it was a scandal of historic proportions and the FBI should be digging into it. Either way, Trump's accusation implicated the integrity of Comey's bureau, which is why the former prosecutor felt compelled to push back as the cameras rolled. "I have no information that supports those tweets," Comey said. "We have looked carefully inside the FBI. The Department of Justice has asked me to share with you that the answer is the same."(Source:http://time.com/)

Journalists from several major news organizations – including the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times and CNN – were excluded from a press briefing. Reporters from the Associated Press and Time magazine did the right thing and boycotted in solidarity. McClatchy Newspapers took part, but later issued a statement that it opposes any effort to ban news organizations and wouldn’t have participated had it known. The White House Correspondents’ Association also lodged an official protest.
